Are you on the brink of starting a career in finance broking and feeling overwhelmed by the plethora of information and advice available? How do you build a client base? Should you pay for marketing leads?

We’d like to offer up some words of wisdom from our head Finance Broker at IDEAL Financial, Jason Sherman. Jason wholeheartedly backs an authentic approach to the industry and maintains that organic growth is possible, through taking the time to build and strengthen referral partnerships and build real relationships with clients.

Jason has put together a FREE guide to becoming an excellent finance broker, which you can download at the bottom of this post. In the meantime, however, we’ve summarised Jason’s top 5 tips:

1. Accreditations: Choose Wisely

Focus on niche offerings and accreditations relevant to your targeted market, rather than going for all.

2. Time Management: You Can't Be Everything to Everyone

Consider focusing on areas you want to specialise in and outsource what you don’t.

3. Expand Your Reach

Building strong rapport with local professionals like Accountants and Real Estate Agents is crucial, but don’t limit yourself to the local market.

4. Referral Partners: The Goldmine

Referral partners can be your lifeline, especially when starting. Always respond to queries promptly and ensure that you manage your workload efficiently.

5. The Hustle Never Stops: Stay Active

Being a finance broker requires full-time effort. If you're hoping to work part-time and have a steady income, think again.
